Set The Prairie On Fire Lyrics

Full full moon and

 That same sad nature

 I wanna cover every inch of you

 Like ink on paper

Like the blind parade of souls

 Consumed by religion

I can't wait 'til I get you

 In that defenseless position

Chorus:

When we set the prairie on fire

 Oh we go down to the water

 Naked and slow

 You and me

 And the heart of desire

We set the prairie on fire

 How hard will the wind blow

 How far will it go

When the feeling burns down

To one solitary color

 The velocity of longing

 Melting into each other

It's a song our fingers play

All at once and together

 You can bet we never learned it

 But we've known it forever

 Oh I dreamed that we were flying

Carried up from the ashes

Black silhouettes of velvet

Against the crimson of passion

We can almost hear the echoes

>From the smoldering meadow

 It's the rapture of the angels

And the rage of the devil

Chorus

In the cool dusk of horses

 Through the rusted wires of sleep

With our arms around midnight

We're headed for release

We go riding in the wind

We go riding in the dark

 Go riding, riding

Chorus
